I think we all know that this matter will not truly be resolved until the Most Rev. Al Sharpton gives his (unsolicited) opinion on the matter!

My response to the thread title is why can't it be both?!

Al Franken.

Perhaps you are embarrassed and trying to forget he represents your party.

Sounds like he and Krystian Zimerman would make quite a formidable duo!!!

I have this set:

Frédéric Chopin: Piano Works

I wonder how it compares in terms of sound quality to the Naxos releases.

ch1525

I wouldn't doubt for one second that it actually happened. Also, I'm not surprised one bit to see it not labeled as a hate crime even though it couldn't be any clearer that it was. If the situation was reversed and a group of white teens beat up a black family saying "It's a white world", it would i...

I don't think a seatbelt does you too much good when stuff falls on your head from above!!!

This is pretty sad. Seems a little similar to the Natasha Richardson death. If I get a bump on the head, I'm going to the hospital!!!

False.

Yeah, I don't think he is decent either.

Now THIS is a tissue holder:

I don't understand why Saul was attacked for this particular post one bit! Those side-by-sides speak for themselves. Also, I think Michelle Obama is very ugly.

I have a funny story about Happy Birthday. A couple weeks ago, when it was Pentecost Sunday, the Reverend of the church where I am choir director told me he was going to have people sing Happy Birthday during his sermon since Pentecost is often thought of as the birthday of the Christian church. He ...

Listening to the Star Trek score right now! I actually came to this dark corner of the board to post on it. I thought the soundtrack worked fantastically well for the movie. There were a couple very, very subtle integrations of music from the original series, and then, of course, the rescored Alexan...

This gives me an idea what kind of medicine I want to go into! Orthopedic surgery!!!

Anyway, to live this experience without endangering your life, I suggest playing the video game Assassin's Creed. It's quite a good game. The sequel looks even more amazing!

That's kind of what Seth Rogen movies are starting to feel like!

Oh no, Corlyss!!! I come here to get away from biology!

Anyway, I read this article a couple days ago and it looks very promising indeed!

Hey you all, Conan is way funnier than Letterman! I suggest you make the switch if you are watching Letterman (I assume a few people still watch him).

ch1525

As far as I'm concerned, the "reverend" Wright has long been way beyond the pale. I just can't understand how Obama, who seems to be an intellengent guy, could ever have gone to Wright's church for so many years. Doesn't it make you wonder where Obama's true sympathies lie? If ever my pastor spoute...

I'm a pretty big Phil Collins fan. His "Serious Hits... Live" is a great album to start with.

ch1525

Congratulations on your journey so far. I remember having the same types of experiences when I started out with Classical Music, too. The great thing is that there is always more to discover.

ch1525

Happy Birthday, Lance! I tried to order you a brand new Steinway D, but it was a bit over my credit limit!

Check out what's coming just a few years after this...

I've just been listening to the Sappho disc on Hyperion and like it a good deal. I was actually planning on starting a thread about him, but forgot. Thanks, Sylph.

I'm planning on exploring some more Granville soon.

This includes the presence of a black candidate... That's all you really have to say on the matter as to why Powell endorsed Obama.

Yeah, just look how much the cadets at the US Air Force Academy loved Biden's joke about Obama. The cheers were so great to my ears!

I'm liking Cheney more than ever. He is one of the only ones who isn't too much of a pansy to call Obama out rather than sucking up to him. Like others have said, he speaks the truth and isn't worried about this damn PC crap. Also, his popularity is quite on the rise. I'd take his word any day on na...

Very nice channel indeed!

Thanks for posting this.

When you watch a pianist perform, for example, the pianist can't do much acting, if at all. Somebody hasn't watched Lang Lang perform... :lol: I had never thought that about Renée when I've seen her perform. Recently I've been listening a lot to her singing Strauss' Four Last Songs. Wonderful stuff!

Now THAT would be great. We are hoping to get up to 25 people so we can have a private room. Maybe Steinway & Sons from 57th Street will send over one of their special "Gershwin" styled 9-footers and Ralph can play some Dittersdorf for us, Donald can play some Schnabel, and maybe even accompany Ann...

Never seen it in person, but have watched it on DVD. It's quite spectacular. I wish it would be performed in New Orleans! Those are really some of my all-time favorite soundtracks. I have the Complete Recordings of all 3 scores. They are pricey, but very worth it, IMO. The Lord of the Rings: Fellows...

Great pictures, Lance! You all look very much like I remember you except for Joe. What an amazing transformation in only one year!

I hope I'll be able to make it next year!

So, did any of you all witness first hand the latest genius act to come out of the White House today in NYC? What's the attitude over there about it?

ch1525

No, it can be used for prophylaxis. I was mistaken in saying it was a shot, though, it is an orally administered capsule.

Wouldn't hurt to get some Tamiflu, if you can find somewhere that has it and will administer it to you. I don't know if it has been proven positive that Tamiflu is even effective, but right now, I think it's the best you can do. I'm thinking I will try to get the shot since my classes are in the med...

My immediate thought is too bad it's too late for Horowitz :roll: , but like everyone else I eagerly await publication and performance of this new discovery. I had the same thought! He sure loved his good old Träumerei. Perhaps this is just the occasion he is looking for to make a comeback and reco...

I think that if a person was properly medicated, addressing the two main causes of asthma, airway inflammation and constriction, they would not have any problem at all. However, the more important issue would be what a person's lung capacity was. If this was decreased, such as in pulmonary fibrosis,...
